A man has been killed in a shark attack off Western Australia's Rottnest Island.
The 32-year-old US citizen was diving alone off a 25-foot boat today when two people on board noticed bubbles emerging from the water, 500m northwest of Little Armstrong Bay.
A short time later, the man's body floated to the surface with fatal injuries, police said.
They were unable to say what injuries he had sustained, or whether he remained in one piece.
The man was in Australia on a work visa and had been living at North Beach.
Police are currently interviewing witnesses at the scene and a report will be prepared for the coroner.
The man is the fourth to be killed by a shark off the WA coast in 14 months.
Earlier this month, 64-year-old businessman Bryn Martin disappeared while swimming at Perth's popular Cottesloe Beach.
Last month, 21-year-old bodyboarder Kyle Burden was killed near Bunker Bay by a 4.5m shark and in August last year, surfer Nicholas Edwards, 31, was killed by a shark at a popular surf break near Gracetown.
